After a season of fun & relaxation, fall is the perfect time of year to focus on new change & gratitude.

As the leaves change around us & the world becomes cold, it’s a time for us to look inward & ponder the changes happening in our own lives. Whether these changes are welcome or uncomfortable, all change has the potential to move us in a positive direction. In seasons of great change, we can choose whether or not it is a welcome & comfortable transition, or a difficult adjustment.

One way to make change more comfortable is to focus on the things in our lives that we are grateful for, because of or despite whatever is changing. Focusing on gratitude helps us to reframe our mindset to one of abundance & tranquility.
